Abstract:
A growing amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) indicates the need to verify the effectiveness of its management both nationally and globally. An analysis of the WEEE economy in Poland conducted over 5 years confirmed a 16.64% increase in the mass of collected equipment. The maximum annual mass of electrical and electronic equipment introduced to the market during this period was 607,240 Mg, with the average value exceeding 500,000 Mg. The WEEE category with the largest collected mass was waste code 20 01 36, which exceeded 235,000 Mg, whilst the highest waste weight accumulation rate of 45.98 kg per capita was recorded in one of the smallest voivodeships in Poland. This result showed the diversity of WEEE accumulation on a national scale. Overall, a noticeable increase in the WEEE accumulation rate has occurred as Poland\'s gross domestic product has increased, despite a decreasing population. An analysis based on the waste accumulation indicators, including socioeconomic factors, confirmed the need to develop forms of WEEE recovery and recycling to transition to a circular economy and promote the synergy of activities amongst all players in WEEE management.
摘要:
越来越多的废弃电气和电子设备(WEEE)表明需要在全国和全球范围内验证其管理的有效性。对波兰WEEE经济进行的5年分析证实,收集的设备数量增加了16.64%。在此期间推向市场的电气和电子设备的最大年质量为607,240Mg,平均值超过500,000Mg。收集量最大的WEEE类别是废物代码200136,超过235,000Mg,在波兰最小的省份之一中,人均废物重量累积率最高,为45.98公斤。这一结果表明了WEEE积累在全国范围内的多样性。总的来说,随着波兰国内生产总值的增加,WEEE的积累率出现了显著的上升,尽管人口在减少。基于废物堆积指标的分析,包括社会经济因素,确认有必要开发WEEE回收和再循环形式,以过渡到循环经济,并促进WEEE管理所有参与者之间活动的协同作用。
